It was amazing to see the security breach this CAPTCHA system had few days by when a bot cracked the CAPTCHA of Live sign-up in less than 60 seconds. Boom and Bang the bot did it with utmost ease leaving no chance of any doubt regarding the high priority of security needed for CAPTCHA as slamming Spammer away from the Internet world.
Well Rapidshare.com world largest file-sharing website, has got a solution for itself. The CAPTCHA required to download any file from Rapidshare is made in such a way that a bot won’t be able to break it by any means.
The new CAPTCHA is more like doubly checked so as to make it the only humans to download from Rapidshare and not bots. This is indeed is one of the first and best way to handle CAPTCHA hacks, as CAPTCHA was developed as the only possible low level solution for spam protection till date.
Well that was the Rapidshare solution for CAPTCHA problem. Hope to see more such security measures taken by other websites to keep themselves safe from hackers.
tactic move from rapidshare…
Well now the problem is the opposite one. The humans cannot even decode the captcha.
@Rishi
Rapidshare’s new CAPTCHA is nothing different. Just they have edited some letters in CAPTCHA with some animals which you have to recognize. Now even 3rd grader can recognize animals.
Is that really hard for you or you got confused???
Makes sense to me
